Izingoma zabaculi zigcwele ukwesaba. Bathinta izindikimba zemilingo nobuSathane. Itimu ekhethiwe isahambisana nemibukiso yekhonsathi enezihloko ezinhle.
Umlando wokudalwa nokubunjwa kweqembu
Umlando wokudalwa kweqembu waqala ngawo-1980 ekhulwini elidlule. Ngaleso sikhathi, abaculi beqembu le-King Diamond (Kim Petersen), uHank Shermann noMichael Denner, owayekade eyi-Brats, banquma ukudala iphrojekthi yabo.
Ngemva kokwakhiwa kwe-line-up, abantu abavamile kuphela abangezwa ukuthi umculo wabafana waba nobudlova futhi unamandla. Ngokushesha omunye umculi ogqamile wajoyina iqembu. Sikhuluma ngo-Ole Beykh, kamuva owaqala ukudlala eqenjini iGuns N' Roses.
Njenganoma yiliphi ibhendi, uhlu lwe-Mercyful Fate lushintsha ngezikhathi ezithile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwaba nesikhathi lapho iqembu layeka imisebenzi yalo isikhathi esithile. Isizathu sokuhlukana ngokuvamile kwaba ukuhlukana kokudala.
Abaculi beqembu le-Mercyful Fate babevame ukuthatha ikhefu lokudala ukuze baqale isitudiyo esisebenzayo kanye nemisebenzi yokuvakasha ngamandla avuselelwe.

Ekuqaleni kwawo-1980, abalandeli bomculo osindayo base bejabulela i-EP yokuqala. I-discography yebhendi yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu yokuqala ethi Melissa (1983).
I-albhamu ikwazile ukuthakasela abathandi bomculo ngetimu engajwayelekile, eyayihlotshaniswa nelinye izwe nemimoya evela ezweni elingaphansi. Isihloko seqoqo sinomlando othokozisayo. UMelissa ungumthakathi owashiswa esigxotsheni. Abaculi bavame ukusebenzisa lesi sithombe ezingomeni ezintsha.
Ngemva konyaka, abaculi bethule i-albhamu yabo yesibili yesitudiyo ethi Ungaphuli Isifungo. Ekusekeleni iqoqo elisha, abafana bahambela e-United States of America. Ngaphezu kwalokho, leli qembu lacula emikhosini eminingana eyayibanjelwe eJalimane.
Ukuduma kweqembu kwadlulela ngalé kwemingcele yezwe lakubo. Ulwazi lokuthi ithimba le-Mercyful Fate liyayeka imisebenzi bekungelona ukushaqisa kakhulu, kodwa kunalokho kwamangaza. Njengoba abaculi besanda kuqala ukunqoba i-Olympus yomculo.
Ukuhlukana kokuqala kweqembu
Isizathu sokuhlukana kwaleli qembu kwaba ukungqubuzana phakathi kukaHunk Shermann neKing Diamond. U-Hunk uphakamise ukuthi amalungu ebhendi ashintshele emsindweni wokuthengisa owengeziwe. Ngokubona kwakhe lokhu kuzosiza ukwandisa isibalo sabalandeli.
UKim akazange asijabulele isipho sozakwabo. Njengoba iNkosi Diamond yathatha isikhundla somholi eqenjini, ngemva kokuhamba komculi, ukuba khona okuqhubekayo komsebenzi kwalahlekelwa incazelo yawo.
INkosi Diamond, uMichael Denner noTimi Hansen abazange balahlekelwe amakhanda abo. Abaculi bazakhele eyabo iphrojekthi, eyaqanjwa ngeKing Diamond. Abadlali besiginci basebenze iminyaka embalwa kuphela. Ngokushesha izindawo zabo zathathwa amalungu amasha. Sikhuluma ngoMike Moon noHal Patino.
Ukuhlangana kabusha kwebhendi
Ngo-1993, ababengamalungu ebhendi ye-Mercyful Fate bamemezela kubalandeli babo ukuthi bahlose ukulivuselela kabusha iqembu. I-albhamu yokuqala yeqembu ngemuva kwekhefu elide ethi, Emathunzini. Ukuhlanganiswa kukhishwe ngabakwaMetal Blade Records. Umculi we-Metallica u-Lars Ulrich wabamba iqhaza ekuqoshweni kwe-albhamu. Izithameli zizwe ukudlala kwakhe engomeni ethi Return of the Vampire.
Ngemva konyaka, i-discography yeqembu yagcwaliswa ngenye into entsha. Umsebenzi omusha wawubizwa ngokuthi Isikhathi. Ngemuva kokwethulwa kwe-disc, abaculi baye ku-Time Tour. Behambela emadolobheni ahlukene, bamemezele ukuthi maduze abalandeli babo bazobe belindele ukukhishwa kwenye i-albhamu.
Ngo-1996, kwethulwa iqoqo elisha. "Iparele" eliyinhloko le-disc In to the Unknown kwakuyiculo elithi Isivakashi esingamenyiwe. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi abaculi nabo bakhiphe isiqeshana sevidiyo sale ngoma. Ngemva kokukhululwa kwe-albhamu entsha, isigingci uMichael Denner washiya Mercyful Fate. Indawo yomculi ithathwe uMike Wead.
Ngemuva kokufika kukaMike, amalungu eqembu asebenze ku-albhamu ethi Dead Again, ngakho athuthela eNomad Studios eCarrollton, eTexas. Ngemva konyaka, i-discography yeqembu lagcwaliswa elinye iqoqo "9".
Ukuhlukana Kwesiphetho Esinomusa
Ngokwesiko lakudala, ngemuva kokwethulwa kwe-albhamu abaculi bahambe bayovakasha. Kodwa ngokushesha, futhi, ngokungalindelekile kubalandeli, leli qembu lamemezela inhloso yalo yokuhlakaza uhlu.
INkosi Diamond ibuyile ukuzokwenza iphrojekthi yakhe. U-Hank Shermann, kanye noMichael Denner, baba ngamalungu eqembu le-Force of Evil. Abalandeli bebengathembi ngisho ukuthi iqembu le-Mercyful Fate liyoke "liphile".
Kodwa ngo-2008, umculi uKim Petersen, lapho ebuzwa izintatheli mayelana nokuthi iqembu le-Mercyful Fate linekusasa, waphendula ngale ndlela:
“I-Mercyful Fate is in hibernation. Iqembu liyimise okwesikhashana imisebenzi. Abaculi bafuna ugqozi lokwethula into ejabulisa kakhulu.”
Ngo-2011, amalungu ebhendi yaseDenmark ahlangana ndawonye ukuze agubhe iminyaka engu-Metallica. Umgubho wawuseSan Francisco. Esiteji, i-King Diamond, u-Shermann nabanye abaculi badlale izingoma ezishisayo ze-Mercyful Fate's repertoire.
Ngo-2019, kwaziwa ukuthi i-Mercyful Fate izodlala imibukiso eminingana eYurophu ehlobo lika-2020. Umculi kwakunguKim Petersen.
NgoNovemba, abalandeli bashaqekile ngezindaba zokushona kukaTimi Hansen, obesenesikhathi eside egula. Umdlali we-bass odumile wathathelwa indawo uJoey Vera.
Isiphetho Esinomusa namuhla
U-2020 waqala kubalandeli bebhendi yaseDenmark ngezindaba ezinhle. Abaculi bamemezele ukuthi baqoqa izinto zokuqopha i-albhamu entsha. Engxoxweni kaMeyi nephephabhuku elicwebezelayo i-Heavy, u-Shermann uveze ukuthi ubhale amathrekhi ayi-6 noma ayi-7 ekuhlanganiseni okusha.
Kuwebhusayithi esemthethweni, abalandeli bangabona iphosta yemidlalo yeqembu. Uhambo luzoqhubeka kuze kube ngu-2021. Ngeshwa, amanye amakhonsathi kudingeke ukuthi asuswe ngenxa yobhubhane lwe-COVID-19.
